Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"They seem to be discussing you." Fali said tastefully.

"I'm so good, isn't it normal for other women to discuss me?"

Chen Zhao was a rare beauty.

Fali rolled her eyes.

In fact, Chen Zhao didn't just know that Zhang Yi and Li Youjia were talking about him.

Even what they discussed was known.

After lunch, Chen Zhao, Fali and Portia took the children back to the hotel.

Several children were sleepy because Chen Zhao forced them to develop a nap habit.

Rome is a typical European city with a slow pace of life.

This is completely different from that in China, where most people are still in the stage of struggling for survival.

Europeans' material life has reached a certain level, so they are more willing to enjoy life.

So most shops here open after ten o'clock.

Because it opens early, there won't be any business.

Before ten o'clock, not a single person could be seen on the huge street.

Chen Zhao lacks love for this kind of city.

The city is lifeless.

Chen Zhao prefers emerging cities in China or the United States, where everyone is full of energy.

And after dark, it's like a city-wide curfew.

The whole city became quiet again.

After dinner, the children played in the room.

Fali and Portia are chatting about fashion.

The two of them plan to go to a fashion show tomorrow.

Chen Zhao didn't need to worry about the invitation letter.

Ofer Lebier took the initiative to help them get it done.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Didila stood up immediately and ran to open the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Didila looked at a man in a suit and leather shoes outside the door very politely.

The man poked his head into the room: "Hello, where is your family?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhao walked behind Didila and looked at the man outside the door.

Chen Zhao saw a strange pattern on the skin of the man's wrist inside the cuff.

"We are conducting anti-terrorism drills in this area, so you may need to change to a hotel." The man said, "Of course, we have already arranged the hotel you are changing to, it is a hotel just a block away."

"Can you not change hotels? There are many people in our family, and it would be very troublesome to change hotels. If you have any confidentiality requirements, we can promise you that we will not go out no matter what we hear."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible. Our anti-terrorism drills are live-fire drills, so for the sake of safety, please cooperate with our work."

Chen Zhao thought for a while and could only nod helplessly: "Okay, let's pack our things."

"Sir, you don't need to pack your things. As long as we finish the acting, you can come back to live here again, maybe tomorrow, so you just need to bring some daily necessities."

"That's it, okay then." Chen Zhao nodded.

Chen Zhao turned around and went in to inform Fali and Portia.

Chen Zhao, Fali and Portia gathered all the children and followed the man downstairs.

When he arrived at the hotel lobby, Chen Zhao saw many people in the lobby, all of whom were hotel guests.

Chen Zhao also saw Zhang Yi and Li Youjia.

"Hi, Miss Zhang and Miss Li, we meet again."

"You are actually staying in this hotel, are you following us?" When Zhang Yi faced Chen Zhao, it was as if he had completely forgotten their past.

He behaved quite calmly and even joked with Chen Zhao.

At this moment, several priests came in from outside the hotel.

"It's so strange. Do Italian anti-terrorism drills still require priests to pray?" Zhang Yi said in surprise.

Chen Zhao saw that the priests were filled with abundant holy aura.

These priests are all high-level monks with extraordinary magical abilities.

These priests were communicating with some armed soldiers around them.

It seems that this is not an anti-terrorism exercise, but a supernatural event occurred.

Moreover, the presence of these senior monks showed that the situation was quite serious.

But for the time being, Chen Zhao didn't notice any supernatural activities nearby.

"Sir, your car is ready." A hotel staff member said.

"OK, thanks."

Because Chen Zhao's family lives in the highest-end suite, the service and treatment are of course different.

Chen Zhao's family was the first to be arranged to leave.

Because Chen Zhao has a large family, the hotel arranged a bus.

Although it is not very luxurious, after all, it is only two blocks and ten minutes away, and Chen Zhao will not ask for more.

Less than three minutes after the bus drove out, there was a sudden vibration from the front.

The car lost some control on the road and finally hit a street light next to it.

The bus driver was frightened, but Chen Zhao's family was very calm.

Portia immediately stepped forward and cursed: "How did you drive? Do you know how many children are in this car?"

Portia was also frightened, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited.

"Okay, Portia, stop talking, this is not his fault." Chen Zhao stood up and stopped Portia from venting any more.

At this time, a violent explosion occurred in the building along the street in front.

"Damn, was that a terrorist attack?"

The driver was already in shock and became even more frightened after seeing the explosion.

At this moment, a dozen heavily armed soldiers appeared along the street, shooting wildly at the exploding building.

But then the explosion happened again, and the dozen soldiers were instantly engulfed in flames.

"No... we can't stay here." The driver was frightened and tried to start the bus.

However, the bus seemed to have malfunctioned due to the impact just now, and it could not start.

The bus was even more urgent at this time. It didn't care about Chen Zhao's family on the bus and directly opened the door and escaped.

"Boss, what should we do?" Portia looked at Chen Zhao.

Perhaps it was due to Chen Zhao's various achievements in the past that Portia still had great trust in Chen Zhao.

Having Chen Zhao here made her feel more at ease.

"It's okay, you stay in the car, I'll go out and take a look." Chen Zhao said.

"Chen, don't go far, the children are in the car." Fali reminded.

"Yeah, I know." Chen Zhao nodded.

At this moment, the street lights along the way began to go out one by one.

It seemed like something was coming towards them.

Chen Zhao stood in front of the bus and saw what was coming.

It should be a kind of evil spirit, an evil spirit full of evil thoughts.

It looked like someone had instilled all the evil thoughts that did not belong to him into the spirit body of the evil spirit.

Like blowing up a balloon, evil spirits are swallowed up by evil thoughts.

He completely lost himself and turned into a terrifying monster.
